Chapter 636 Power Returns to the Sima Family

"kill!!"

More and more fresh troops with high morale and complete rest joined the battlefield. For a time, the Han army's killing sound was loud, and the momentum of the counterattack became more and more fierce.

Forced by the fierceness of the Han army, the military morale within the Wei army began to fluctuate. Many soldiers and officers who were already hesitant already had the idea of running away.

Unlike the Hebei Army, which basically had no fighting with the Shu Army, this Huainan Wei Army was the main force in the original Battle of Nanyang. They have all experienced Ma Su's power more or less, especially when Ma Su flooded the three armies, which made the entire Huainan fearful when hearing Ma Su's name.

But now, he is watching Ma Su's advantage getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more enemies. The continuous defeats being beaten on their own side will inevitably remind the officers in Huainan of some bad things.

And as time went by, the fear of Ma Su and the hopelessness of the prospects began to continuously impact the morale of the Wei army. At this time, only a small stimulus is needed, and the Wei army will collapse.

And this stimulus came quickly.

"The soldiers are all here! It's time for our counterattack!" Ma Di made a decisive decision when he saw that all three thousand Han troops were ready.

"Launch a counterattack! Kill through the Wei army's defenses and capture Guo Huai alive!"

After saying that, Ma Su rushed out first, carrying the handsome flag. Later, the followers followed without hesitation, and the Han army launched a counterattack brazenly.

Wei Jun was hesitant to begin with and was on the verge of collapse. And Ma Su's counterattack completely ignited the fear in Wei Jun's heart.

It is said that Ma Su is invincible, and killing the enemy in battle is like being in a deserted place. Now that he has launched a charge, is it because he still doesn't run because he doesn't live long enough?

The result was that as soon as Ma Su launched his charge, this group of Wei army border guards who had violently beaten Soochow in Hefei a few years ago collapsed like refugees. Even before Ma Su fought with a few enemies, he found that the Wei army's front had completely collapsed.

As for Guo Huai... when Ma Di launched his counterattack, he had already slipped to the rear. After the collapse of the former army, he quickly gathered the remaining defeated generals and reorganized some of his troops to prepare for resistance again.

But it didn't seem to work, and the Wei army, which had been frightened for a long time, no longer had the will to fight. The army that Guo Huai worked so hard to reorganize collapsed again not long after contact with the Han army.

Now Guo Huai understood it, and immediately came out of the Third Company of Miracle Doctors:

There is no hope, just wait for death, say goodbye!

Then without saying a word, he ran away with the song still under his command.

But when he was running away, Guo Huai was still kind. He ran eastward under his own banner with great fanfare, trying to lure Ma Di away to buy Sima Division time.

But compared to Guo Huai, Ma Di was still more interested in Master Sima. After defeating their rear troops, they didn't even think about gathering the surrendered soldiers, and led their troops to pursue Sima Division directly.

It's a pity that Master Sima is also a cautious person and has long predicted that Guo Huai will be defeated soon. When Ma Di chased after him fiercely, the 60,000 Wei army had already abandoned their baggage and fled to Kaiyang with light equipment.

Because the tens of thousands of troops carrying too much baggage blocked the road, Ma Di got stuck. By the time Ma Su moved the baggage blocking the road, Wei Jun had already fled far away.

Ma Su had no choice but to catch up with Master Sima. Fortunately, a large amount of baggage was seized and Guo Huai's 20,000 troops were defeated, so it was considered a worthwhile trip.

And the most important thing is that Kaiyang is still a hundred miles away from the Qinan Mountains. At this distance, Ma Su only had to set up camp on the only way, and Sima Shi did not dare to continue forward.

Next, it is time to slowly compete with Wei Jun for endurance.

"The whole army obeys the order."

Ma Su shook his head gently, then turned to his subordinates and said curtly,

"Clean the battlefield and seize the baggage. Since the puppet Wei has given us so many gifts, it would be too cold to their hearts to throw them away in vain."

"The entire army has packed up and waited with me for the arrival of follow-up reinforcements. This time, none of the 80,000 people in Huainan can even think of running away!"

…………

When the news that Ma Di defeated Guo Huai in the East China Sea and blocked Sima Shi in Kaiyang, unable to advance or retreat, was sent back to Qingzhou, even Sima Yi could no longer hold his nerve.

Three thousand people marched for thousands of miles, and then defeated the 20,000 rear troops with a small number and a large number. The Shu army's combat effectiveness has reached this point, so they can fight in a trade fair. They are dead...

"That's what happened. Lieutenant, please think of a solution quickly. General Zhengxi is now trapped in Langya." At this time, Qingzhou Mu Cao Xi was already weak and asked Sima Yi with a fearful expression.

"Now the Shu army has entered Xuzhou, and it is only one step away from Qingzhou. If General Zhengxi cannot be rescued, and the Shu army takes advantage of the situation and enters Qingzhou, what should we do?"

"Lieutenant Sima, please think of a solution. The whole empire of Wei Dynasty depends on you!"

"Cao Qingzhou is serious. As a minister of Tuogu, the old minister will naturally not shirk his responsibility. Moreover, the son of the old minister who is besieged in Kaiyang will never sit idly by." Sima Yi nodded and immediately said solemnly.

However, before Cao Xi could be happy, Sima Yi frowned again and said with some embarrassment.

"But now the Wei army is very empty, and troops are being used everywhere. The reinforcements that I just transferred from Liaodong have been sent to Yanzhou to guard the Yellow River ferry."

"Right now, I don't have a single soldier in my hands. Even if I want to save Xuzhou, I still have more than enough ambition but not enough power..."

"What are you talking about, Taiwei? We still have tens of thousands of armored soldiers in Qingzhou, and they are all under your command!" In response to Sima Yi's words, Cao Xi immediately said without hesitation. Then he even took the initiative to take out the seal of the Qingzhou Army and handed it over to Sima Yi.

In this regard, Sima Yi quickly shied away, saying that these were soldiers from Qingzhou and were the last guarantee to defend the territory. Even if he doesn't want this son, he can't use Wei's territory as a blockage.

Sima Yi's behavior moved Cao Xi even more. So he forcefully gave Sima Yi the military power of tens of thousands of troops in Qingzhou.

Sima Yi repeatedly refused to no avail, and finally "reluctantly" took over the military power, crying and expressing his gratitude to Qingzhou Mu for his trust.

He naturally needs to be grateful. After all, Cao Shuang arranged the tens of thousands of troops in Qingzhou to check and balance him from the beginning. Now, Cao Xi took the initiative to hand over the military power to himself. How could he not say thank you for such a great favor?

Finally, when Cao Xi saw that Sima Yi was willing to take action, he immediately returned to the Prefectural Mufu with satisfaction. After Cao Xi left, Sima Yi's expression returned to calm.

At this moment, Cao Wei's Huainan Army and Liaodong Army were already the iron ticket warehouses of his Sima family. Although the Yanzhou Army and the Hebei Army still held military power under the Cao family, they were already trapped in the Yanzhou War Zone and unable to move.

And now, the only Qingzhou military power that Cao Wei can use has been obtained. Next, we only need to figure it out slowly, and all the military power in Cao Wei will belong to the Sima family.

Although Cao Shuang's political skills are pretty good, he is still too young compared to Sima Yi...
